Being able to use the two states close to Kyoto as the fiefdom of the two kings is enough to see Su Xuanyong's preference for the two kings.

Compared with the king of Yue who is far away on the coast, it is really a little shabby, no wonder the king of Yue is unwilling, he wants to fight for power with the two kings, and the battle between the three princes, Su Qi'an does not want to participate, and will not participate.

What he can do is to develop his strength in a limited time until he can compete with the three kings, and then with his strength, even if Su Xuanyong can't balance the three kings, Su Qi'an has the ability to support Su Xian to take the throne.

This is also the reason why between him and Su Xuanyong, no matter how big the contradiction is, no matter how big the disagreement, Su Xuanyong will still be trusted.

Since there is no common idea in Su Xuanyong, then pin your hopes on Su Xian.

What he has to do now is to show his strength and attract the attention of the three kings, and after this time to pacify the turmoil in the northwest, with this military exploit, Su Qi'an's strength and prestige will definitely go to a higher level.

When the time came, when he returned to Beijing again, as a disciple of the master's son, together with many great Confucians in the Hanlin Academy, he asked Su Xuanyong to canonize Su Xian as the crown prince.

Only by giving the position of the crown prince can the plot of the three kings be stopped, and even if the three kings are dissatisfied and want to rebel, it will be difficult to get support.

And at that time, his strength was not much stronger, but at least he could have the strength to fight, and by virtue of standing on a reasonable legal system, the three kings wanted to rebel, and they were basically idle.

So this time I went to the northwest to supervise the army, not only for myself, but also to protect Su Xian in Kyoto.

Pressing the thoughts in his mind for the time being, Su Qi'an saw the direction clearly, gave an order, and went straight to Jinzhou in front.

This time I went to Ganzhou, no matter what, I had to pass through Su Zhe's fiefdom, and Su Qi'an had no intention of exploring how good the people of Jinzhou lived and worked in peace and contentment, and how good the public security was.

His current goal is to arrive in Ganzhou as quickly as possible, and no matter whose fiefdom he passes through along the way, he has no intention of stopping.

Fortunately, passing through here, it only passed through the north of Jinju, and did not go deep into Jinju City, so it passed through seven or eight county towns in the north of Jinju, and then you could leave and enter the border of Ganzhou.

According to their speed, they will be able to leave Jinju in four or five days at most, and there will be no intersection at all.

Under Su Qi'an's order, the 20,000-strong army barely stopped, all the way to the west, and after leaving the suburbs of Beijing, it took less than half a day to enter the Jinju territory.

This time, the counties and counties along the way had already been greeted, and there was no need to come to greet them, just let them go when they saw their troops.

The army hurried on, and as they stepped into the border of Jinju, although they didn't see too many traders and pawns along the way, the official roads under their feet were different from those of other states.

Not only is it spacious, but even the ground is basically paved with green bricks, which is completely different from other states that also use mud and gravel to pave the road.

Moreover, in the county seat that passed through the inspection on the way, although it did not enter the city, just looking at the scale of the county city wall, it is enough to compare with the general county town.

In addition, on the outskirts of the county, there are many street vendors, which are divided into districts according to what they sell, forming a temporary market, which looks very lively from a distance.

The soldiers in charge of the patrol had a smile on their faces, not the slightest bit of arrogance, but polite, and the two sides got along quite harmoniously.

At this scene, Su Qi'an, Xie Cang and other generals who watched it, their faces changed slightly, this kind of harmony is not something that other states can't see, but most of the ones that exist are in various states and cities.

And the subordinate counties are almost unheard of, and basically fights, robberies, and even bandit attacks are the norm in the counties.

But here, Su Zhe's fiefdom has such a harmonious scene, and anyone will be surprised.

Su Qi'an did not suspect that the scene in front of him was a deliberate show, this is the northern region of Jinju, far away from the city of Jinju in the middle.

Generally speaking, this kind of remote border counties will more or less have a situation that cannot be controlled, even if it is the two prefectures of Jiao and Xi, where Su Qi'an is located, it will be because of the remoteness of the region and the poor management of the border areas.

If these people were deliberately putting on a show, knowing that Su Qi'an's army would pass by and arrange it here in advance, Su Qi'an didn't think about it.

But if you look closely, you will find that this temporary market was not built in advance, and you can see that it has existed for a long time by looking at the damage to the stalls in the market.

The people in the bazaar did not have a little panic on their faces, nor did they pretentious, whether it was buying, selling, trading, or even bargaining, they all seemed very natural, without the slightest pretense.

This Jinju is well managed even as a border county, and it is no wonder that Su Zhe has a high prestige in Kyoto and is known as King Xian.

If Su Qi'an hadn't experienced the confrontation with the two kings, looking at the scene in front of him, I am afraid that he would also think that Su Zhe was a virtuous king.

No matter whether the scene in front of him was true or false, it couldn't change Su Qi'an's suspicion of Su Zhe.

He didn't stay too long, and after his subordinates took back the clearance degree, he continued to rush forward without stopping.

In Da Liang, if Jinzhou is really well managed as rumored, then the position of the crown prince will not be in Su Zhe's pocket long ago.

Su Qi'an doesn't doubt that the scene in front of him is fake, and it is not a show, but there must be a secret behind this that he does not know, as long as he does it, he will definitely have horses' feet, and he will not be able to hide it.

This is just a county, and there is still one later, Su Qi'an doesn't believe it, there are really such perfect people in this world.

As the army continued to set off, in the next two days, Su Qi'an led the army through two or three county towns in the north of Jinju.

As seen in the first one, the government and the people live in harmony, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and everyone praises the wisdom of the King of Jin, and there is no flaw at all.

Su Qi'an was a little disappointed in his heart about this result, but he was also expected that Su Zhe could be trusted and relied on by his many years of wisdom, if he was really recognized by himself at once, there was no need to disguise it for so long.

I have to say that Su Zhe's show is really powerful, but if Su Qi'an doesn't see the face of the battle between the two kings, maybe he will really help him.

But unfortunately, compared with Su Zhe, Su Qi'an wanted to help the tenth prince Su Xian.

Su Xian's sincerity and friendliness, and his distress for the people at the bottom, can't be disguised in a child.

On the contrary, in Su Zhe, who has been showing a virtuous posture for more than ten years, this person is more scheming and acting more insidiously, Su Qi'an has a deep understanding.

After traveling through six counties in a row, all I saw was a harmonious scene, Su Qi'an regretted that he failed to find a flaw, but this expedition, Jinzhou was just a pass.

Have you found that it doesn't matter much, and if you go through a county further, even if you leave Jinzhou, you will be considered to have stepped into the border of Ganzhou, and when the time comes, you will be able to go more than 100 miles, and you should be able to join the army from Jiaozhou.

Then, the two armies were united, and after walking for seven or eight days, they could arrive at the Ganzhou Metropolitan Protectorate, and when they saw Wang Zhenshan, they could know the specific situation of the current battle situation in the northwest.

After the army had eaten and drunk enough and rested for an hour, Su Qi'an led the army to set off again.

The army traveled, and the momentum was huge, Su Qi'an didn't plan to see anything more in the last county, he didn't have the slightest intention of staying, and wanted to leave Jinju in one go.

Even after looking at the seven counties, I didn't find any flaws, and the last county, there was no need to go to see it, but it was a waste of time.

Just as Su Qi'an was about to leave Jinxi County in one go, suddenly, the army led by him suddenly stopped.

Su Qi'an's eyes flashed, he grabbed the horse rope, looked ahead, and after a while, a messenger from the vanguard came quickly.

Facing Su Qi'an and Xie Cang, he hugged his fists and said, "Report to Lord Hou, there are Jinzhou soldiers blocking the road ahead, there are quite a few people, about a few thousand, and the leader is their state pastor." ”

"Listening to what they mean, Jinzhou Mu wants to invite Hou Ye to talk about it, and then let him go."

"Hmph, what a bold man, he actually blocked the way, and he had to say a word before he was willing to let go, I really thought that he was a state pastor, so he could be lawless, and he couldn't afford to be a state pastor."

Without waiting for Su Qi'an to speak, Xie Cang on the side frowned and said coldly, in his opinion, this is a naked provocation.

If they don't come early or late, they will start to block the road when they are about to leave Jinju.

"Brother Su, I don't need you to come forward in this matter, let me meet this Jinzhou Mu for a while, it's really upside down, dare to openly block the way, if Ben Hou doesn't teach him a lesson, I really think we are easy to bully."

"Someone, pass on the order of the Hou Army, let the Split Mountain Army prepare for the attack, and wait for my order to overthrow this group of bastards at any time."

As he spoke, Xie Cang wanted to rush out on horseback, but was stopped by Su Qi'an on the side.

He grabbed Xie Cang's horse rope, shook his head and said, "Brother Xie, don't be impulsive, this is the boundary of Jinzhou, this Jinzhou Mu dares to openly block it, it is impossible not to know what will happen to us." ”

"I don't think he should have the intention of doing anything, if he really does it, it is impossible to bring only a few thousand people, since the other party proposed to meet, then meet again, just to see what this Jinzhou pastor has in mind."

"Of course, if he really wants to do it, I won't show mercy to my subordinates, with our strength, a charge, can defeat them, if you don't agree with each other, you will definitely fall behind, and static braking is the best policy."

When Xie Cang heard this, his eyes flashed, then he nodded and said softly, "What Brother Su said is reasonable, then we will meet this Jinzhou Mu for a while." ”

Then, Su Qi'an and Xie Cang rode their horses and walked towards the front leisurely.

After a while, they came to the avant-garde troops, and in front of them, thousands of Jinju soldiers stood in a line, blocking the official road that was leaving.

In front of the Jinju soldiers, a middle-aged man wearing a red official robe and an official hat with a rich face, smiling and amiable, sitting on a horse, this person is the governor of Jinju who is in charge of the affairs of Jinju, Jinju Mu Guo Kai.

Seeing Su Qi'an and Xie Cang appear, Guo Kai hugged his fists and saluted, and said with a smile.

"Presumably, the two of them are the famous Baishou Hou and Lingdong Hou, and it is really a blessing for me to see them today, so young."

"This official's actions today are really a last resort, just to see the two Hou Ye, and I hope that the Hou Ye will not be strange."

"In order to apologize, the official has prepared thin wine in Jinxi County, so that the official can do his best to be a landlord, and please rest assured that it will only take half a day at most, and it will definitely not delay the Hou Ye's trip, and please be able to appreciate the face."
